A bit of culture

Tonight during dinner my dad mentioned the story behind the local strawberries: fraises de Plougastel. Curious I searched the Internet to know more about Amede-Francois Frezier. This man brought back from Chile the local strawberry species and introduced to France and Plougastel the "white strawberry". Dear Officer Frezier, I thank you for bringing back those very first strawberries to France and Brittany. Without you we wouldn't have the best strawberries in the world right next door.
